An area is just a way, where the endpoint connects to the starting point. In the iD editor, if you select a way and look closely, you should see that the middle of each line segment has a small triangle that indicates the direction of the way. Since the right side of the way is the low side, an embankment that encircles a mound should be drawn counter-clockwise. If you need to reverse the direction of an existing way in iD, just select it and press V. In JOSM press R.

maybe i asked it wrong, there is no way per say, it is a land fill and there is something on the top, but to the tracers looking at bing it looks flat but it is a big mountain, on the one hand or a big hole in the case
of an reintion dry pond
in the case of a road, on the top of a mound or below street leave.
that is to show that these things are not on the ground leave.

I think that there is a miss-conception here. If you want to talk about the wall the retains the earth, this is the dyke. The embankment is more then a wall and is at least as large as the road and made of resistant material.?? The wiki pages https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:embankment and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dembankment do not accept usage of polygones with these tags. see description of embankments in https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/highway-embankment

    The downhill side of the embankment is to the right of the way.
